Pope Francis to deliver Encyclical on Climate Change

Climate change has been a matter of debate for the past few years. Now, Pope Francis has planned to deliver an encyclical on climate change. Scientists and climate experts across the globe have been offering their thoughts about some factors that pope must consider while leading the discussion over earth’s climate change.

As per reports, the ideas of religious leaders could be valuable in considering how people should deal with climate change. Pope Francis has decided to make battle against the climate change a papal cause. According to some experts, it could be an appropriate effort by the Church.

Pope Francis has held the title of the leader of the largest Christian denomination in the world. He is charged not only to save souls, but also to lead Catholic Church to make the world a better place to live. According to experts, it is necessary to ground public policies in best-available science.

The Pope relies in great part on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is actually a panel of leaders who are chosen by politicians. The panel does not include any scientists, which means that there is not one who has scientific data to show about climate change.

The politicians who developed the IPCC did not charge the panel with knowing what has been causing climate change. Instead of that, it limited the studies which show that humans are responsible for climate change. The panel dutifully reported that greenhouse gas emissions are responsible for earth’s global warming. It did not work to eliminate the causes of climate change.

Climate experts wonder how Pope Francis will deliver an encyclical on climate change while relying on the panel, which doesn’t have any scientist.
